TAUNTON — As a way to commemorate its 50-year reunion weekend, the Taunton High School Class of 1967 donated a Tiger banner to the high school on Sunday.

The orange banner, which features the school’s tiger mascot and the heading “Taunton High School,” will be hung for years to come in the school, according to Assistant Headmaster Kristen Keenan.

“We’re thrilled that they’re here to donate the banner (alumni from the Class of 1967),” Keenan said.

“When people come in to the school, we want them to see the pride that not only the students and faculty have, but also that of the community. The school will continue to show the banner as a display of support from the Class of 1967.”

On Sunday morning, the alumni took at tour of the high school building with Keenan, who hosted the class for breakfast and a photo opportunity with the banner. On Friday night, the class held a social on home plate of the school baseball field. The class rented out a hall in Segregansett Country Club on Saturday night for dinner and dancing.

“We’re very appreciative of the school department for organizing it (the tour),” said Castrolima.

According to Castrolima, the Tiger banner is the first physical donation that a former class has made to the high school, although other classes have submitted donations such as scholarship money. As for a scholarship donation, Castrolima said that the class “might do that in the future.”

Although the Class of 1967 did not attend school in the current Taunton High School building, many class members who stayed to live in the Taunton area have children who attended the new building. The current Taunton High School building was opened in 1975; the Class of 1967 attended school in the old Taunton High School, which was located on the current Morton Hospital grounds.

Castrolima said that she worked in the Taunton school system for over 20 years, serving for 14 years as a secretary in the high school’s guidance department. Proulx, who was drafted to serve in the Vietnam War in 1969, went on to work at Reed and Barton, the former Taunton silver manufacturer which closed down in 2015.

“I’m very happy to be able to donate the banner and very proud to attend Taunton High School,” Proulx said.

According to Proulx, who has been a Taunton-area resident for years, two of his children attended Taunton High School and two others attended Coyle and Cassidy.

Young said that she worked as a math teacher at the high school for several years, having been inspired to become one by a former math teacher. Today, she sees the same high quality of education in the halls of the current high school as she did in the old building in the late 1960s.

“It takes a village. Our children have gone here, for a lot of us,” Young said.

“There are so many good things over the years that go on at the high school that we don’t know about. ... I’d like to hear more about the good than the bad.”
